love and lust. those two concepts have gotten so confused over time. guys tell me they want to have sex with me but nothing reciprocates love. i need something to last a lifetime not just a moments pleasure. i crave the kind of love that builds a home. something that grows deeper beyond the skin. i don’t need fleeting promises or hollow words, but a steady heart that beats only for me. in a world that confuses lust for love, i seek a love that’s pure, always there.

This is a call to all sufferers
hanging themselves in their own arms
apart from the one they desire
tired of nights sleeping alone
restless in grave prisons of the
place they would rather be,
whispering wishes and psalms to the
silence of walls that will never speak.
Seeking out their most beloved unknowns
that which they do not know outside of sleep,
the reason for their itch to stay in bed
for its ease to dream and play on nocturnal grounds
away from emptiness of waking
when time is occupied by working and despair and drinking.
An escape to care and to be cared for unconditionally
from the depths of a majestic heart,
that reciprocates the true yearning
between two divine animals
to frolic and escape the solitude
of the malnourished zoo of the world.

1. For many years, I have longed for the opportunity to be in this position, to have a person in my life who sees me as a hero and reciprocates my feelings. You have been my dream, my desire, and now that you are here, I love you more each day. You are the ultimate dream and the greatest blessing I have ever wished for. The fact that I have the privilege of having both of you in my life feels like a double blessing from God. While I cannot predict where life will lead us, I am committed to doing everything in my power to ensure you both have the best life possible. I express my gratitude to God every day and night for you, and I am thankful to your mother for the gift of having you both. You are truly remarkable, and I could not ask for a more precious gift than you two. Thank you for being part of my life, for carrying my last name, and for loving and looking up to me. I am grateful to God for bringing you into my life, and I love you both dearly.

Sea Glass From Mother Nature’s Jewel Box
She gives us…
Hummingbirds with wings aflutter, a symphony for cherry blossoms
Sunset, moonrise primordial orbs, magic looms
Shooting comets that grace every sky
Twinkling stars that wink on ebon nights
then wane and vanish in sunlight
She reciprocates …
Over the sands of time She forms and fashions troves of jewels
Refuse, shards of glass litter discarded and strewn
Sanded and polished by briny waves magically glazed frosty verglas
Trading trash and abuse with gifts
Sea glass gems washed ashore
Stones resembling emeralds, amethyst, ruby’s,
turquoise crystals displayed on the soft carpeted shores
Wishes to have seen this newfangled beauty
She once gifted us exquisitely
A rare sight as less litter evinces Her gifts scarce
I wonder was She by us coerced?
Ample reasons for us to quit littering
if not, there are more

I love his body.
He always says he loves mine.
I love his spirit.
He always reciprocates.
He and I share divine love.

Goodness in people dominates from the inside out.
Dismissing downtrodden people is not what it's about.
To avoid panhandlers' people would take a different route.
To ensure their lack of bathing didn't land on their suit.
Goodness is generational and not in every child.
Some have that "Gift" while others run wild.
It is the biggest diamond, along with a hoard of gold.
That one God-Given thing that could never be sold.
It's either in you or it ain't to be exceptionally good.
A different kind of liquid running through your blood.
A human characteristic that cannot be duplicated.
It reciprocates love rather than unwarranted hatred.

A divine rhythm seeks us
Our pristine, porous, childlike heart reciprocates
Without fuss
No thoughts decoy
Inspiration never abates
What joy
Love’s kiss
At heaven’s gates
Bliss
A divine rhythm seeks us
Inspiration never abates
Bliss

I gave you all my love, every bit and piece,
But in return, you left me feeling incomplete.
I lost myself while loving you,
It's something I didn't want to do.
Love isn't supposed to leave you feeling drained,
Or like you've been neglected and left in the rain.
If one gives all and never receives,
Their heart will surely start to grieve.
Love grows when both give and take,
Efforts are shared, and hearts don't break.
It works when both put in the effort,
And show their love with words and comfort.
So don't give your all and lose yourself,
Find someone who reciprocates and shares your wealth.

Eye To Eye Talk
With smutty look, it started .
A look to look again,
Until the love begin.
To every hern of she,
even the nails cudnt be set free.
Tip to toe she had to glow,
to quench his look, he throws.
Till the same look reciprocates.
Appealing to the other, one generates.
When she is no less,
to lure him a step away.
A shy look of acceptance,
Yet, no word of utterance.
Eye to eye they spoke,
without queries to evoke.
To the one very own,
Within sometime,
known through eyes.
Indulged in affinity,
Caring is definitely.
In plain words I say.
It’s love in sight,
where words are dumb,
The eyes speak bright,
Lovers are numb.
When “She” is the universe.
Only “He” in the canvas.
Admitting through looks,
eye to eye they are booked.

Kisses
and cuddles
with whispered sounds-
love reciprocates

~ As why my eyes cries to me;
Tears so flowing down my cheek;
Salty are those crystal clears;
Drips of moisture flowing, falling still;
I cry, I weep, I belly ache;
My soul and spirit reciprocates;
I wipe my face and yet;
Yet still I sigh, yet God still bless!

In the dark of my fantasy
I found myself alone.
Fleed along with flawed imaginations.
I had malice for my profession.
I was stuck with my devil mind,
with the alley of the time.
A confused recollection of my past
was conflicting in my mind and heart.
The sight of aura all around
made some depressing sound.
The accelerated cadence of my core.
It choked my inner soul.
I lost total control.
It killed me inside and made several loops and holes.
A world fraught with freak, fraudulent, frail.
It confined my life like a jail.
It killed my confidence, emotions and my faith.
I started to hesitate.
It intruded my dreams and my mind,
to make my life intricate.
But then there a little sudden silence.
And a call of my inner voice.
I saw the rebirth of a branch on a wrecked tree.
It reciprocates my life,
and I realised life's levy secrecy.
It made me believe that
there is a world within a world.
And with faith, dedication and patience,
we can cross any hurdle.
It was the beginning of the internal fight.
there is spring after every autumn night
